Graeme Whiting, the principal of a British private school suggested that fantasy books like Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones (to name a few) can damage the subconscious of a child and cause mental illness. In this longer than necessary blog post he talks about how by the age of 30 he had read all the books he wanted to and that children don't have "thinking brains" until at least the age of 14.

He prefers that kids stick to the classics that aren't "sensationalized" with tales of magic or anything interesting.

This has led many critics to ask several questions such as, "Does he seriously think Game of Thrones is for kids?" and "What kind of boring Shakespeare plays is he reading?"

If there's one thing we've learned, it's that heads are stronger than golf clubs. Golfer Zac Blair made a mistake while putting and hit his golf club on his head in frustration (similar to the guy in the above gif that Blair later posted in a Tweet about the situation).

Unfortunately, a bent club is a "non-conforming" club and that meant that he was disqualified.

Rapper 50 Cent followed this poor guy around at his work and hassled him because he was "high off something". The victim of this public shaming was identified on Instagram by a former schoolmate as Andrew Farrell. According to that Instagram user, @rustystone9, Farrell was not high, he has a disability:

Eventually, the suspects gave up and surrendered to police but not before snapping a few selfies. Onlookers formed a crowd where they stopped to talk to friends and wait for police to catch up and some of them just had to take a picture or two.

George Mason University's Law School has recently been renamed "the Antonin Scalia School of Law" in honor of the late Supreme Court justice. Soon they'll be renaming it again because someone didn't think to check what the acronym of that new name spelled. And that acronym is....

Following several mocking Tweets, the new name will be "the Antonin Scalia Law School at George Mason University". Which is a shame because, according to his opponents, that name isn't nearly as representative of the man it was named for.

Google has cancelled their April Fools day prank after it backfired. It turns out that if you install a "mic drop" button which mutes the email conversation and sends a GIF on an email platform that 900 million people use for personal AND PROFESSIONAL reasons, not all of them will like it.

First of all, they automatically sent a 'Minions' GIF, and some people said it sent the GIF even when they pressed the normal send button. To make matters worse, a number of people who accidentally pressed the "mic drop" button were angry and some even said they lost their job or a job opportunity.

UPDATE: Well, it looks like we pranked ourselves this year. 😟 Due to a bug, the Mic Drop feature inadvertently caused more headaches than laughs. We’re truly sorry. The feature has been turned off. If you are still seeing it, please reload your Gmail page.
